Got a call from an automated voice about a job offer, they asked me to connect on WhatsApp by adding a number.

They said they were from social housing but as soon as I said I’m not in social housing, they just cut the call straight away. Definitely looks like a scam, watch out all!

Absolute scam! Don’t ever respond to calls, messages or emails from numbers you don’t recognise. Don’t engage with anyone who sounds suspicious – these scammers are getting clever (look up ‘voice cloning scams’ to see what I mean). Always report any suspicious contact to the police or Ofcom via their official channels. For texts or calls (even those silent ones!), use the number 7726 to forward the details. You’ll usually be asked to reply again to confirm – make sure you do that. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam report feature whenever possible. If you get scammy texts, send them to 7726 and report through the spam tool, then watch for any reply in case they want confirmation. If you receive scam emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and also flag them using the phishing report option (look for the 3 dots in the corner). It might seem like a lot, but the more reports sent through all these channels, the more likely the authorities will take proper action. For guidance on all these steps, just google 7726 and '[email protected]'. Stay safe out there!

Absolute scam! Don't ever answer calls, texts, or emails from numbers you don't recognise. Never engage with scammers – if you want to know more, just search 'voice cloning scams'. Make sure to report every scam attempt through the official police or Ofcom systems designed for this. Send details of the call or text, even silent calls, to 7726. You’ll usually have to confirm by replying again after they ask. Also, make use of your phone’s built-in spam reporting tools for calls and texts by forwarding suspicious messages to 7726 and reporting through the spam feature. Sometimes you’ll get a reply asking for confirmation, so keep an eye out. If you get scam emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and report them via the phishing report option (top right corner). Every report counts, and the more people who report via these channels, the better the chances authorities will take action. For full details, google ‘7726’ and '[email protected]' and find loads of useful info.

My phone showed it as a spam number from EE, so I just ended the call.

Got a dodgy text saying there’d been a new login and I need to ring them back, but it looks like a classic scam to me. The number was right there in the message. Definitely not falling for that one!

I get calls from these lot daily, and they always switch their phone numbers. I just block 'em every time. The caller ID usually says it’s some telemarketing. They rang me from 01392574757 this time. Honestly, don’t pick up, just report and block straight away. Bet they’ll be ringing from a different number again by tomorrow, ha!

They told me I supposedly bought two cars on finance... what a load of rubbish. I just chuckled and ended the call straight away.

I've been getting loads of annoying calls from random mobile numbers lately. When I try calling back, the number doesn't come up or isn't recognised at all. Really frustrating!

They somehow got hold of my info, still not sure how they managed that.

My call got instantly marked as "possible spam", but after reading a comment from someone else saying it's just a follow-up about a power outage, it feels more believable now. I did report a power cut a handful of days back too, so maybe it's really them checking in.

Pretty much the same story as everyone else, but I’m with Halifax myself.

Some bloke rang up saying he was from Vodaphone, but when I mentioned I was with Lebara, which actually runs independently as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), not part of Vodaphone, he seemed a bit off. He claimed I’d earned a 45% discount on my monthly mobile bill for being a loyal customer and then asked how much I usually pay each month. I told him straight away I wasn’t going to talk about money stuff, hung up, and blocked the number. Smells like a rookie scammer to me.

They didn’t leave any message. After seeing what others have said, I’m just going to block the number.

This looks like a scam message. Better not to reply or ring the number they provided.

It showed up as a debt collector calling me. I didn’t answer and they didn’t bother to leave any message.

There was this weird robot voice on the line, all I could make out was a muffled 'hello' with loads of background noise. Pretty sure it's a scam.

Got a call on my landline and it seemed a bit dodgy. The lady asked if I live at the address and if we’d had cavity wall insulation done between ages 55 and 82. When I told her I'm 85, she just ended the call straight away.

Didn't pick up the call cause the number looked unfamiliar to me. No voicemail was left either. Reading other people's replies, looks like it might be a scam. Planning to block and report this number soon.

Got a call from a number claiming to be Manchester – surprise, surprise, it was just another spammer. Just ignore it, block the number, delete the message, and definitely report it to your phone company!

Got a call from a very persistent lady with an Indian accent, saying she was from our electricity company. She insisted on sending an engineer to check our meter and was trying to fish for my account information. Didn’t give her anything, just ended the call.

I got a call about some odd activity on my Apple Pay or device, but it felt really dodgy and like it had nothing to do with me even tho I had used Apple Pay not long ago. So I figured it was probably trying to scam me out of banking info and just ended up blocking the number.

Phone buzzed once, i picked up but the line just went dead. No one said anything and no voicemail was left. I just assumed it was one of those annoying calls or a wrong number.

I picked up but didn't say a word, and then they just hung up.

Got a missed call from this number but no voicemail? Seems like a dodgy scam, best just to block it.
